gotta love what exactly?
The process, gathering young talent, exciting times to be a Flyer fan. Building towards a great future, new direction, you gotta love it!!
1. there is no process.
2. gathering young talent every other orginization in the league has, none are stand out elite level.
3. please define a great future.
4. new direction lol. sure new era of orange II
I can’t complain with the selection of Martone. Was hoping one of the two was available @ 6- unexpected both available. I just do not see a path how Tippett will be on the roster 2 years from now unless Foerster falls off. Hope they sell high and do not beat the value out of him before moving him. As far as Nesbitt, we all knew they were going center with their next pick after Martone. Once McQueen was selected by ANA, pretty sure the prospects left who were considered first round and definitely projected to play center in the NHL were Nesbitt and Cootes. My preference would have been Cootes, but I understand the process.
If Ryabkin falls into the 3rd round, I sure hope the Flyers make the pick. I understand the warts, but at that point of the draft using a lottery ticket for him.
Outside of the top five or six kids, most of these other kids who are selected will be NHL role players, I personally think Martone is going to be an impact NHL’er, he’s really talented. Sure there’ll be two of three kids like Brayden Point or Jason Robertson, but those are the outliers and teams will obviously be lucky to find one of them. Just look back nine or ten years at drafts, 2015 produces 29 kids who has 200 or more points, 2016 produces 16 kids with 200 or more points. Elite talent generally comes from the very top of the draft, when you’re picking after #10 you’re hoping to get lucky and you’re also building depth within your organization.
nothing unhinged at all about whine-posting ad nauseum. gotta love it
just doesn’t seem healthy. if you hate the team so much maybe get off the internet for a bit. it’s exhausting to read so it’s gotta be draining to pound at that keyboard all morning haha
hfboards seems more your speed. or maybe try wordle.

pops have any inside info? whats the word wayne?
go back to hockey buzz. you are not needed. you have zilch to offer
pure entertainment.
Right, you gotta love it.
2nd Round Flyers picks: 36th (4th pick), 40th (8th) and 48th (16th).
Today is the day you take a big swing on a player like Ryabkin.

I don’t get it either? Just go cheer for someone else. San Jose is going to be an absolute wagon with the kids they’ve picked in the past three drafts, they’ve had six first round picks in 2023/2024/2025 including 1st, 2nd & 4th overall, plus they got Sam Dickinson at #11, that kid is super talented and going to be an NHL all-star. I’m sure there’s room on their bandwagon.
Anaheim too, they’re orange and they’ve amassed some great young talent through the draft, they’ve been at it for seven years/drafts, picking 2nd, 3rd, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 10th & 10th overall in that timeframe, but hey, they’re gonna turn the corner sooner than later…right? LOL – probably lots of room on their bandwagon too!!
Today is the day you take a big swing on a player like Ryabkin.
He’s the 17th best player available, according to The Athletic writers.
17. Ivan Ryabkin, C, Muskegon Lumberjacks (USHL)
April 25, 2007 | 5′ 11″ | 209 pounds
Tier: Projected to play NHL games
Skating: NHL average
Puck skills: Above NHL average
Hockey sense: NHL average
Compete: NHL average
Shot: Above NHL averageAnalysis: Ryabkin was an impactful player at the Russian junior level as a 16-year-old. He struggled in Russia this season, leading to a mid-year shift to the USHL, where he was great for Muskegon. He’s a very talented player. He has a ton of skill and ability to improvise with the puck. He sees the ice at a high level and makes difficult passes consistently. At times, he competes quite hard and looks to use his body to win pucks. His game has inconsistencies, though. Ryabkin can lose his temper and make bad decisions on the ice. He’s a good enough skater but his game can lack pace and his fitness is a minor issue, too. He has the potential to be a legit scoring winger in the NHL but it remains to be seen if he can round out his game enough to be that player.

Agreed and that why it was so important Briere did not over think pick 6. I do expect them to replenish the goal prospect pool today. I just hope they take a flier on Ryabkin at some point in day 2. The chances of prospects drafted after the first round is so low, betting on talent is not a bad thing.

I just enjoy watching dopes like you. pure entertainment. go flyers

I appreciate your support, thanks!! Let’s Go Flyers!!!
you’ve been told what to believe and you parrot it here after watching exactly zero games from any of these kids.
bravo.
They took a swing after drafting a sure thing. This is what everyone clamored for. It’s why you get the picks. Rather than drafting two late round bottom 6 duds. He was considered the last sure fire center. Other centers may not have translated into the NHL and would likely been moved to wing. Schaefer seemed to think he was the most underrated player in the first round. I don’t mind the gamble.
You don’t even know what you want.
But we are all glad you’re here. Every day. Be it hello it’s me or furio. But asking bill dumb questions and having him ignore you is not “contributing” lol

is that you “jonesy”?
you are a flyers parrot. sticking up for pops I suppose. as I said go back to the buzz and be the man
this is your entire personality. You bring zero depth.
You wanted to trade Tippett for Zibanejad?? Are you high?
Coming here every day under multiple alts and whining about a team you don’t seem to even like is not a wise use of your twilight years.
Go back to X and watch some more highlight reels and come back here with your expert opinion lol. Copy and paste your scripts from HF Boards so you’re prepared.
Dads partying in AC, you’re… here.
